Current Odds: 8-1 The current thirst for an Oasis reunion is surely proof that absence does indeed make the heart grow fonder. Nobody judges there to be a Gallagher Brothers-shaped hole in the current rock scene based on The Hindu Times or Stop Crying Your Heart Out; much of the Oasis catalogue from 1997 onwards was either correctly derided as being substandard or just outrightly ignored. Oasis were never the greatest band in the country, but they were certainly the biggest in 1995. While Pulp, Radiohead and Black Grape all released better albums than What's The Story (Morning Glory)? in '95, the latter was the Oasis record that was inescapable that year. A terrific album in its own right, it captured the upswing of optimism that permeated the national mood at this time and Noel is surely too shrewd an operator and cultivator of his own legend to let an opportunity to milk the anniversary go unmarked. 2014 was never going to be the right time to reform Oasis, with Noel Gallagher's High-Flying Birds recording a new album and Beady Eye playing with their jelly moulds, but the schedule would appear to be free next year. The chances of Oasis playing a set at Glastonbury rest on the ability of Liam and Noel to bury the hatchet for long enough. If they were to play, you would hope to see Bonehead, Guigsy and Whitey involved too.
